When Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin met in Finland for their 2018 summit, they spoke alone accompanied by translators for more than two hours before inviting their aides to join them.
It initially appeared that this Alaska summit might have a similar head-to-head session, but that has now changed.
As Air Force One touched down in Anchorage, US journalists were told that the summit would begin with a three-on-three meeting before a broader working lunch. Trump will be joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his all-rounder envoy, Steve Witkoff.
Rubio was a staunch opponent of Russia before he ascended to the State Department post, and Witkoff has been involved in direct talks with Russian leaders for months.
This provides the US president with an extra layer of support in what he has described as a "high-stakes" summit and could be a relief for America's European allies, who have expressed concern that the often unpredictable Trump could offer Putin unexpected concessions or deals. /BBC
